about

"His distressed and forlorn rephrasing of Bowie’s ‘Thursday Child’ emerges from a woozy chemical fog courting a strangely haunting feel that surreally casts a spectral hand to link arms with Harrison’s ‘Blue Jay Way’ and scratched with hollowing reflection relocates it into the minimalist future dazed isolationist demurs of ‘Low’. That said I must admit that it withers in the shadow of his re-trim of Motorhead’s ‘Iron Horse/Born to Lose’, for sprayed in the willowy airless mosaics found lightly toning his debuting Toshack Highway appearance, this lost gem is renewed and wired upon a bliss toned seafaring cosmic caress traced in vapour hazes of mellowing psych whispers, something we’d hasten to add that ought to be high on the listening radar of those much adoring of Porcupine Tree’s impeccable ‘stupid dream’ set." THE SUNDAY EXPERIENCE

lyrics

He rides the road that don't have no end
An open highway without any bends
Tramp and his stallion alone in a dream
Proud in his colours as the chromium gleams

On Iron Horse he flies
On Iron Horse he'll gladly die
Iron Horse his wife
Iron Horse his life

He lives his life he's living it fast
You don't try to hide when the dice have been cast
He rides the whirlwind that cuts to the bone
Loaded forever, ferociously stoned

On Iron Horse he flies
On Iron Horse he'll gladly die
Iron Horse his wife
Iron Horse his life

One day one day, they'll go for the sun
And together they'll slide on the eternal run
Wasted forever on speed, bikes and booze
We're all Tramp and the brothers
And we're all born to lose
